“I wonder what these cameras are used for and what they can do. It was as if they had never been seen in other officers’ cars, “asked the man.
It is not the car that matters
Ramūnas Matonis, Head of the Communication Department of the Police Department, told Delfi that the police have a fleet of almost 1,700 cars in total. He emphasized that the department does not publish the list of unmarked and patrolled vehicles, however the models are much more diverse than the Audi A6 models that are already familiar to many drivers.
Internet users have repeatedly shared lists with cars of unmarked police officers, but their justice has not been confirmed by the police. However, it is notable that Ford, Renault, Volkswagen, and other cars are used for unmarked patrols.
“The main job of the police is to guarantee personal, public and public order security, the prevention of criminal acts, administrative infractions, guarantee the safety of traffic, etc. It is very gratifying that the public, and the media in particular , be interested in the technique that police officers use in their work. But the most important thing should be the responsible behavior of every (conscious) member of society. Will it improve the public safety of which brand of vehicle police come to help someone? Probably not “, considered R. Matonis.
Still, it doesn’t hide the fact that officers use a wide variety of cars to ensure traffic safety. The police fleet includes several Audi A6, Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Tranporter, Opel Insignia, Volkswagen Caddy, Škoda Octavia, Škoda Superb, Nissan L200, Renault Megane, Peugeot and Ford cars, as well as Yamaha and BMW motorcycles.
Use a large number of devices
Police officers use a variety of devices to detect speeding and traffic violations. For example, cars are equipped with several different types of equipment and, depending on them, the speed measurement error can reach 1 km / h.
The equipment installed in police cars can detect traffic criminals (KET) traveling at speeds of up to 250-300 km / h. Speed Also, officers’ cars do not necessarily have to be parked, they can drive. It is also important to note that the recordings made are stored in the device memory or sent directly to the crime log.
In addition to tripods that are already familiar to drivers in the country, police officers use at least a few different mobile devices to measure speed. The possibilities of the latter are different, but all can perpetuate the crime and capture the necessary data in the memory of the device. It is worth mentioning that such speedometers are capable of recording 320-350 km / h. speed
Not a camera
Speaking about other equipment in the cars used by the police, R. Matonis emphasized that the police cars have 4 video cameras: two filming the front and rear, as in the photo sent by reader Delfi, and two filming the interior of the car: one – the room of the detainees, the other – interior of the car.
“All automobile cameras are used to ensure the protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals, public order and public safety, the prevention, detection and investigation of criminal and administrative offenses, the protection of life and health of people, physical and psychological integrity, traffic safety, investigation and prevention of official misconduct and disciplinary violations, “named R. Matonis.
He emphasized that cameras are not only used to capture rapes. For example, an in-car camera for detainees in the car helps ensure the detainee’s safety – in other words, officers can monitor the detainee in real time and provide assistance or stop unauthorized actions if necessary.
“In practice, too, cameras help determine the objective circumstances of the incident, especially in cases where the testimony of officials and the people involved in the incident do not match.” The presence of cameras also acts as a preventive measure, i. knowing that people filmed in action tend to behave correctly. Although the speed of the camera is not measured, if necessary, the image captured by them could be used to identify KET violations, “said interlocutor Delfi.
